CALEB SVATY'S FLOWERS

Caleb Svaty, our local flower and produce guy, is having a sale of hanging plants and flowers at his greenhouse this Saturday morning. I’m not sure when it starts, maybe 8:00 or 8:30 am. Check his ad in the Indy tomorrow. The greenhouse is located at his Grandma Svaty's farm on 156, where they sell flowers in the spring, produce in the summer and pumpkins for Halloween.

Caleb is quite the young entrepreneur and even though he is still in high school, he has been growing produce and flowers commercially for a very long time. He started when he was very young (I started to say “small”, but Caleb has never been small) helping his dad measure the weight of produce and counting change for customers. There were many times he carried my purchases to the car for me.

Caleb was at the track meet today at the high school and told me about his weekend plant sale plans. He had just competed in the weights…and came out pretty well. He said he’d do better next time. He is one hulk of a guy. If he gets his timing down just right, he’ll toss that shot out of sight.

This is a hard-working high school student who could use the support of the community. He is doing this because he loves it and wants to continue with it. Stop by Saturday morning and check out his flowers. You won’t be disappointed that you did. I’ll see you there.

The storm is coming. Time to unplug the computer.
